The main goal of the present study was to identify and validate latent classes of suicidal behavior in a representative sample of adolescents. The sample comprised a total of 1506 students, including 667 males (44.3%), selected through a sample stratified by clusters. The mean age was 16.15 years (SD = 1.36). The instruments used evaluated suicidal behavior, positive and negative affect, emotional and behavioral problems, prosocial behavior, and subjective well-being. Using the Paykel Suicide Scale, the latent class analysis identified four homogeneous subgroups: “low risk”, “suicidal act”, “suicidal ideation”, and “high risk for suicide”. These subgroups presented a differential pattern in terms of their social-emotional adjustment. The subgroups with the highest theoretical risk showed lower scores on subjective well-being and positive affect as well as higher scores on emotional and behavioral problems and negative affect compared to the non-risk subgroups. This study contributes to an understanding of the typologies of suicidal behavior among adolescents and the relationship with psychopathological adjustment. Ultimately, these findings may promote the development or improvement of early detection and prevention strategies in the suicidal behavior field in order to reduce the socio-economic burdens associated with suicide in young populations.

Concern about the development of behavioral addictions in adolescence, including gambling, has increased in recent years. Evidence shows that problem gambling can lead to personal, social, or health problems. However, even though gambling is an illegal activity, studies on this problem are quite limited in Spain. The main objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of gambling in adolescents in Spain. Moreover, gambling behaviors were examined according to gender and age, and their possible relationship with several mental health indicators was analyzed. The results showed that 20.6% of the adolescents who participated in the study had gambled money in the past year. The highest gambling prevalence was found in boys and in adolescents from the age of 16 years old. Moreover, the results showed that gambling behavior was related to different mental health indicators.

El objetivo del presente artículo fue examinar el potencial pedagógico del Estudio de Caso, a través del uso del e-portfolio y la e-rúbrica, para el fomento del trabajo interdisciplinar en la formación inicial del profesorado. Para ello, se trabajó como temática compartida de tres asignaturas del grado de Educación Primaria, mediante el Estudio de Caso, “la acción tutorial del docente”, desde una triple perspectiva: el rol y funciones del docente, las expectativas del profesorado y la tutoría entre iguales, enmarcada como proyecto de innovación. Utilizando la e-rúbrica como método de evaluación, los resultados encontrados fueron que, de manera general, a través del Estudio de Caso, el alumnado es capaz de integrar de manera comprehensiva y global los contenidos de las diferentes materias trabajadas. Asimismo, se evidenció la relación entre una mayor integración de contenidos con más alusiones a aspectos emocionales, así como con un mejor uso de herramientas digitales. Estos resultados avalan la eficacia del Estudio de Caso, evaluado mediante herramientas digitales, en el trabajo interdisciplinar y en la adquisición de competencias.
